Needle Notes

Comfort Fade Cardi by Andrea Mowry. Uses DK weight. Top down cardigan.

This is a classic case of yarn substitution gone awry. I used Quince & Co Finch and Tern, both fingering weights and double them. Yes, I did multiple gauge swatches. 

You can read my project notes here.

The sleeves are just a tad too long. 



Wrap me up.



Get a load of those armholes!



It doesn't look too bad from the back.












·        I would never again knit a sweater using two strands of yarn. Although I love the yarn and the fabric, knitting with two strands definitely slows me down.

·        Buy a kit! Colors ok but not in love with them.

Blethering Room

Parade yesterday in Washington IL to honor responders to tornado in November 2013..



What is an algorithm? Bob answers this.

Nature Notes

Debunking Nature Myths: Ticks jump out of trees. This is a myth. Ticks come up from long grasses and cannot jump at all.

The serene philosophy of the pink rose is steadying.  Its fragrant, delicate petals open fully and are ready to fall, without regret or disillusion, after only a day in the sun.  It is so every summer.  One can almost hear their pink, fragrant murmur as they settle down upon the grass: “Summer, summer, it will always be summer."-  Rachel Peden

High Note Low Note

Paula

Low Note: Goodreads has a lot of good qualities but it is tricky to move a book from one shelf to another. I preferred Shelfari which I found more user friendly.

High Note: Design Boards and 3M Command Hooks.

Bob

Low Note: Japanese Beetles

High Note: Butterflies especially Pipevine Swallowtail and Giant Swallowtail

Haste ye back!

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
